1. Key Ideas

Every place on Earth can be pinpointed with just two numbers. Latitude tells you how far north or south of the equator; longitude tells you how far east or west — and longitude directly determines your local time.

Latitude measures north/south position; longitude measures east/west position
Why longitude determines time and latitude does not

2. Success Criteria

By the end, you should be able to:

Latitude measures north/south position; longitude measures east/west position
Equator = 0° lat; Prime Meridian = 0° long
Earth rotates 360° in 24 h → 15° per hour; 1° = 4 minutes

3. Key Terms

FormulaA rule showing the relationship between variables using symbols.

SubstitutionReplacing variables with their known values in an equation.

Unit ConversionChanging a measurement from one unit to another.

CapacityThe amount of liquid a container can hold, measured in litres or millilitres.

PerimeterThe total distance around the outside of a shape.

AreaThe amount of space inside a two-dimensional shape.

3. Analyse why this idea matters for understanding Latitude, Longitude, and Location: "Earth rotates 360° in 24 h → 15° per hour; 1° = 4 minutes".

6. Extend: Apply the Idea

Band 5/65 marks

A student gives a memorised answer about Latitude, Longitude, and Location but does not use evidence or reasoning.

Improve the answer by writing a stronger response that uses accurate terminology, a relevant example and a clear explanation.

7. Multiple Choice

A. Identify the key concept being tested

B. Write every fact from memory

C. Ignore the command word

D. Skip examples and evidence

2. Which answer would show stronger understanding of Latitude, Longitude, and Location?

A. An answer with accurate terms and reasoning

B. A copied definition only

C. A single-word response

D. An answer with no example

3. What should you do if a question asks you to explain?

A. Link the idea to a reason or cause

B. List unrelated facts

C. Only draw a diagram

D. Write the shortest possible answer

8. Success Criteria Proof

Finish with evidence that you can do each success criterion.
